Is Aspera Free?

Is your business looking for an alternative to the outdated and slow traditional file transfer protocols such as FTP or HTTP? If so, IBM’s Aspera is worth considering. IBM Aspera provides an alternative to the traditional file transfer solutions through its patented file transfer solution, FASP

The Fast and Secure Protocol (FASP) is a file transfer protocol designed with today’s business in mind. Today, organizations are required to send much more data than companies just five years ago. In fact, researchers predict that nearly 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created each and every day! That’s truly an unimaginable amount of data that is created each day. To keep up with this growing technological demand and data growth, organizations must evolve. 

When it comes to improving data transfer and data collaboration, IBM’s Aspera is today’s technology choice. IBM’s Aspera is up to 100x faster than traditional protocols such as FTP, designed with embedded security and equipped to meet today’s business needs at scale.  The critical question is then, ‘is Aspera free, and how can it be tested?’

Is Aspera Free

Aspera is a paid service; however, there are some great free introductions to the Aspera platform if you’re looking to test-drive the offering. Through PacGenesis, businesses can get access to IBM’s Aspera for 90 days!
